Mega Regionalism- New Challenges for Innovation

This initial workshop in the East-West Center New Challenges for Trade and Innovation workshop series will focus on emerging trends in Megaregional Trade Agreements, like the Transpacific Partnership (TPP) agreement, and their impact on innovation. Given the comprehensive nature of these emerging accords and the likely ubiquitous implications for innovation, the workshop will bring together trade economists with experts on innovation, intellectual property rights, competition law, technical standards, and industrial development.
